My friend needs to buy a phone around 10k-12k rupees (india $1=44Rupees) HOwever i m confused between Dell's XCD 35 and Optimus ONe...I luv my O1 but XCD35 has a higher resolution 480*800 and also larger screen..The underlying Chipset is ame Qualcomm msm7227..Also i have heard that XCD35 is a variant of awesome ZTE BLADE but the screen lacks the original quality of Blade...Plz give your inputs and help me decide !!!there is around 1K difference in price
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
Looool it looks just like ZTE blade , but it has a few too many downsides :) . 256 ram , big resolution for qualcomm 7227 600 mhz :-s . And also it comes prepacked with 2.1 . And considering the fact it's practically a pretty no-name phone ( compared to O1 which sold about 2 million units in less than an year ) you can probabily guess that it doesn;'t have the same support by the community.

Being stuck on 2.1 is a very sad thing.

Cheers

Go for galaxy ace?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarfaraz1989:
first off its got support with the cyanogen devs I men its listed on their first page so how can u say its not widely supported plus ram is unlockable to 512 mb..i have heard that zte blade or san francisco as it is called is very famous and has many roms.. further reading also showed that higher resolution makes the display gorgeous though it might get a bit slow.....as for samsung ace it doesn't even have a community ..when buying android phone s community is a must..ace will never get official gingerbread..the hardware is same as our o1 too nothing worth its price

Ps zte blade already has an official cm7 unstable port at cyanogen site
[Optimus One, P500, V General] peacekeeper05:
too large resolution for only a 600 mhz chip.

it will definitely put a strain on it just to process graphics. lower refresh rate and definitely lower fps.

and no official gingerbread update from zte is a big downside. and the battery is only 1250mah?

about galaxy ace, it doesn't have a good community support as optimus one, and i think it will be stuck on froyo cause it seems samsung is not going to upgrade it anymore.

i say stick to your optimus one first and just invest and save money on a better product that has a better support and that is known.

How is Xperia X10 running it???? SOny phones have such high resolutions
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ziaasp:
O1 rules :) . At first i was not happy because scrolling was not smooth i got frustrated n decided to sell this phone and get htc desire but after discovering this wonderful community and installing Megatron and mikos kernel for lag fix i am very happy with my phone. I would say that this phone sucks with the stock Rom. But once you install custom Rom you will feel that its speed has increased 2x. hardware of this phone is the best for this price. LG fuked up with the software.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] k4ce:
Simple decision bro ...

If you use it mainly for chatting and reading etc - DELL XCD35

If you use it for playing games - O1

Bottom line is since they use the same chip but XCD35 has a higher resolution, the XCD35 would have to work that much harder to render the same image ... So once you get into big games, this will be a downside ...

However, if you use it ONLY for casual games (like paper toss and other timepass games) and use it for chatting and reading stuff, the higher res screen ( and much higher DPI) will make the text more pleasing to read ...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ziaasp:
Dude paper toss is not a simple game. Its a 3d game made for high end phones. It lags in our phone like hell even after OC and lag fix.

GO FOR LG P500

Best phone in lower price and it is getting 2.3 Gingerbread in Few Days
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarfaraz1989:
Well a bit good 3d gaming is always welcome..Looks to me like Optimus one is an all-rounder and is worth every penny...One question though if i use LCD density app from market will it increase my phone's resolution or will it just change the dpi or something..Can anybody tell if its the real thing and how it works ??? http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/change-android-screen-resolution-with-lcd-density/
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sam811:
doesn't lag on my mine @ stock speed. which rom?

BTW, heres my view:

things going against XCD35 = slow processor (can be OC'd), less ram (unlocking fails most of the time), bad battery life, no warranty (if getting from Orange).

things working for O1: 100-120Mhz OC is descent & doesn't affect battery life but increase in performance is noticeable, good battery life, cheap but comes with good, balanced specs (but wish it had a camera flash). & for those who don't mind to install custom roms, Gingerbread is cooked & ready to serve (ignore those flies please).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sam811:
true.

this is not possible. resolution is fixed.
[Nook Color General] The Broken Ska Record:
I was trying to install the new phiremod, but I messed up somewhere and I was stuck in CWM. Everything I was trying to load up gave me an error, so I go to this thread, grab the file to keep my NC rooted and rebooted it. When it came back it got stuck on the silver "n" with the "Contains Reader Mobile..." text at the bottom of the screen. I'm not quite sure what to do next.
[Nook Color General] ace7196:
Try again.

Read EVERYTHING.

Search forum more.
[Nook Color General] callmeraymon:
This worked for me.

Hold 'n' on boot. You'll get an install failed error.

Shut down nook

Hold 'n' on boot again. You'll be asked to reinstall. push 'n' to confirm twice.
[Nook Color General] debdado:
Callmeraymon,

That process worked, as I got the failed error and then the reinstall. But even after that, I am still stuck with the 'n". Anything else I can try. I also reinstalled 1.0.1 via clockwork, but still stuck with 'n'. Any help is appreciated. I am thinking about taking into the store for a new one.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bribazy:
My youtube app doesn't work and shows in settings as 0.00kb, what can I do to fix this problem?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bretjutras:
I'm having the same issue. When I search for it in the market, it says "Open" as though it's installed, but when I click open, it brings me to the install screen. I hit install, it shows the progress bar for a second or two and then goes away. I can see Youtube in the manage apps screen, but not in the app drawer. If anybody has any suggestions here please let me know.

If it's just a select few of us, then maybe I'll try a factory reset. I'd just hate to lose all the setup work I did on it today.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skullvet:
It probably installed the "phone" version of YouTube. Uninstall youtube through settings and that will fix it. It is factory installed as part of the moto rom. Installing the market version conflicts.

It is nice that it preinstalls all the apps you had on your phone, but this has caused issues for some people. I uninstalled every app that was auto installed and then manually installed the apps I wanted.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bretjutras:
I did a factory reset and it's on there now. Not the most subtle solution, but it worked.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p2flol:
Anyone with the wifi xoom test the youtube HD playback? Whenever I load an HD video in youtube (fullscreen) and click on the screen to bring up pause, seek bar etc the frame rate gets cut in half and I get massive lag. Is this happening to anyone else?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p2flol:
Here's a sample video.. is it supposed to lag/freeze when you tap the screen to bring up the youtube controls?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW8AZD_oaRE&feature=player_embedded

It happens when I don't touch the screen sometimes too, even after the video has been fully loaded.

Thanks..

I'll check it out right now and probably post later.

I did try the Nesoid on my rooted wildfire running at 691 mhz and it works great without any problems. And I just wanted to see if it could run something much better than NES games.

I tried it yesterday and loaded Final Fantasy 5. After choosing the ROM, it just showed a black screen and kicked me back to the selection screen.

More info on this would be nice :D

Trying the fPSe right now.. but whenever I choose the app, It just shows a black screen, doesn't even let me choose the BIOS or anything..

might try again a while later, but no progress for now. Guess I'm stuck with NES games for a while:cool::cool:

By the way I'm using CM7 RC2 and running at 691mhz, if that helps...

[Droid 2 Global General] rulasram:
Hello, first let me say i am not new to android, i use to have a X10, and flashed and moded a little bit so i am no afraid to move the android guts in my phone.

Now, i bougth a D2G because i really ned a qwerty keyboard, and because is the best shot for my.

I am overseas, so no in USA, it came unlocked as the ebay vendor says, but...

1.-The D2G seems to come GSM unlocked, but made an upgrade to the last firmware released by verizon and now is locked again, bougth unlock codes from 3 diferent sellers all the same 2, none of there worked so 6 intents to unlock are burned only 4 left i think. so where can i get a working code?, i am not in USA, neither can reach verizon network from where i am now.

2.-I have a pccard whit cdma 3 g service here in my country, is possible to program the config and prl of the pccard to the phone to have data connection, i understand i will not have voice or sms as my service is data only, but is at least posible?

3.-For what i understand there are just one custom rom, defuse team, out there for using in the D2G, but i seen other deodexed "stock" rom, is it safe to use? as in i will/could not lose the GSM unlock (if i unlock it again).

I know some, if not all, of this issues are adressed in other posts but maybe dont get it, so i respectfully ask to someone who can help me to do so.

Thank you for any help you could provide me.

[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
Hello All,

This post is mainly for developers and is meant to just be kind of a "brain tickler". I think it would be kind of interesting if any ROM, app or mod developers (or android devs in any capacity) to try and provide us the community with a quick and dirty (or longer if you have massive amounts of time, which I'm guessing you don't :P) explanation of how you got into Android Development. If you have some coding background already, or if you were already fluent in most linux config files and such, or what I think would be somewhat interesting is someone with none of the above who just runs ubuntu in a vmware for the sole purpose of programming android, and they've never touched code before.

So Devs, tell us your stories. I feel it might help to "humanize" what developers are and help some people who may be afraid to give it a try building their own stuff if we see the wide range of Devs.

Well let me be the first.

I started rooting phones with my evo. I didn't do know developing untill done time has passed with my epic. You cam say I was a noob when I joined xda. I didn't join xda untill after I got my epic. I had no experience with linux. I'm basically learning as I go along. I have a background in web design. Mostly html and xml and a little bit of java script but all on web design.

I started developing on the epic cause I seen to themes I liked and mixed them together to make one. Androdena and baked snack. This started my quest to make the perfect theme in my eyes. I seen things both themes left things un touched and didn't complete the look. So I started digging in deeper. It was at this time I started getting help from others but for the most part I'm 80% self taught in the short time I've been doing it. Now I'm teaching the people that taught me the last 20%.

As my theme progressed different mods started coming out and I wanted to add them to my theme. That's when I started learning how to edit .jars and writing/editing smali code.

I'm now at the point I'm working on my own mods and porting others. I've been working with k0nan with the SRF rom and reading as much info as I can as I wanna start making my own kernels and roms.

I did all this and I've only been a member if xda for a little over 7months.

Once I get a new computer I would like to help contribute to the community and may need some assistance.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Alright I'll share my story. I started developing a few years ago on WM6.5.xxx. I did that for a little while and then moved to BlackBerry. I made the switch to Android last summer. I settled on the Epic and began tinkering. I started out by reverse engineering ROM zips. I started adding to or taking away from and it just kinda grew form there.

I started customizing my ROM's before flashing them and got pretty comfortable doing that. Eventually I worked up the nerve to start sharing the customized ROM's. Over time I was able to do more and more on my own. Making simple scripts or modifying more complex ones and putting ROMs together on my own. My midNIGHT ROM got it's name from the time of day it was I usually worked on it. My life is pretty complicated so the only time I really got to work on this stuff was around midnight. The name just kinda stuck.

I got some good feedback. One day it occurred to me that I could use an Android ROM to help spread Autism Awareness. Most of you know my story if you don't and are interested you can read my blog. People seem to really like the ROM and as more people used it the more I was able to help spread awareness. I have all of you to thank for that. Now I see Autism Awareness ribbons around the forum. I hope to continue to learn from the AMAZING developers here and maybe even some new ones. I want to say thanks to all of you for your support and thanks to all the developers for helping me learn by freely sharing their knowledge.

Hello,

I have a Qn, I am currently running MIUI on my EVO, and have downloaded a few apps through the Amazon App Store. If I wipe and flash another ROM on my EVO, do I lose all of those apps that were d/l or is it tied to my amazon.com account, and so I can restore them ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
I haven't done it, but they should be tied to your Amazon account. Also, if you use Titanium, it shouldn't have any problem restoring the apps, though I don't know if there will be any issues restoring the link between the app and the amazon market.

This is what I did.

1.) Flashed my phone back to Stock S-ON usine this link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009423

when you reboot the phone make sure you wait until you get a 3G/4G signal. If you start the process of setting up your phone to quick it will cause your phone not to activate the data connection.

2.) ROOTED my phone and at each boot made sure I had 3G/4G connection before setting up phone. (Downgrade and Upgrade).

3.) This let me keep my data connection all the way through.

Then do the re-root again making sure after every reboot i have data connected before i go on to the next step? sorry if it seems like im repeating what you said but i just want to be clear =)

Only if i had this info sooner. I deactivated my phone and tried to reactivate it thinking that it would help, but by deactivating my phone it retired my sim card and now it won't activate again lol.

If you have ROOT and have no data connection you can do a factory reset in clockwork recovery. You still wipe out the phone but dont lose ROOT.
